'Actor Noh Jae-won revealed that he sought advice from a medium to prepare for his role in 'Girigo'.

'A press conference for the Netflix series 'Girigo' was held at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall on the 21st. Director Park Yoon-seo and actors Jeon So-yeong, Kang Mi-na, Hyun Woo-seok, Lee Hyo-je, and Noh Jae-won attended the event.

'The Netflix series 'Girigo' tells the story of high school students who are warned of sudden death due to the curse of the wish-granting application 'Girigo' and struggle to escape that curse.

'This is the first main directing work of director Park Yoon-seo, who gained solid experience by participating as a B-director in the second season of the Netflix series 'Kingdom' and co-directing the drama 'Moving'.

'Jeon So-yeong, who plays the medium 'Haetsal' who reaches out to her friends at Seorin High School to break the curse of 'Girigo', and Noh Jae-won, who plays 'Bangul', Haetsal's helper who protects the children from the threats of 'Girigo', form one pillar of 'Girigo'.

'Noh Jae-won revealed that his character 'Bangul' is in a romantic relationship with 'Haetsal', stating, "My character is a medium, but his abilities are ambiguous. To express both his soft side and toughness, I also practiced mind control and visited the medium teacher several times for advice. I wanted to feel more closely the field I had lived apart from, so after many conversations with the medium teacher, I tried to find my own spirituality and intuition."

'Director Park Yoon-seo said regarding the casting of Jeon So-yeong and Noh Jae-won, "Since I worked with rookie actors, I had actors in mind who could provide acting support." He added, "Nevertheless, I was looking for actors who could show a fresh and new look while maintaining stable acting skills rather than those too familiar to me, and I am grateful that they agreed to join us."
